Learn the basics of shape-note singing as found in "The Sacred Harp," the tunebook in print since 1844. Shape-note singing is four-part unaccompanied vocal music with spine-tingling harmonies from early New England and the South on up to the recent past. No experience necessary; come to sing or listen. Music available for loan this evening.
